Raidul Khan Kowshik, a third-year student of University of Dhaka, has been taken to police custody for molesting a girl at University’s TSC.
A female student of Dhaka University (DU) filed a case against 5 to 6 unidentified students for molesting her in the Teacher Student Center (TSC) of Dhaka University.
“A female student filed a complaint to the proctor office of the university and based on the complaint, proctor office handed over a student named Raidul Khan Kaushik to the police station for interrogation,” DU proctor Prof AKM Golam Rabbani informed.
According to the complaint, the victim student was talking to a young man at TSC around 7pm on Monday when 4 to 5 unidentified youths talked to them and at one stage assaulted both of them.
In this incident, a case was filed against 4-5 unidentified people in Shahbag police station and the victim student complained to the proctor’s office of the university.
Based on the complaint, after seeing the CCTV footage of TSC, the proctor’s office initially got the involvement of a second-year student of the university named Abdullah Al Maruf. Later, when he went to catch the student at Madhur canteen, Maruf led the proctor to another student named Raidul Khan Kaushik. After finding Kaushik, the proctor’s office handed him over to Shahbagh police station for preliminary interrogation.
